Bacha Khan University Expels Students for Indian National Anthem Incident

In Charsadda, Bacha Khan University has dealt with a severe disciplinary action against four pharmacy department students who sang the Indian national anthem on campus premises and posted it online. The event took place two days ago, when these students performed the song alongside chanting slogans that were perceived as anti-state.

University authorities have condemned this act, considering it a violation of both university and hostel regulations for raising such slogans within campus boundaries. They also viewed the students’ actions as an attempt to instigate unrest and undermine national unity.

A disciplinary meeting held by the university’s 73rd committee swiftly concluded with the immediate expulsion of the four involved students. Additionally, their hostel accommodations have been cancelled according to a notification issued by the university.

The notice further stated that the recorded incident and its distribution on social media constituted an illegal act. Upon approval from competent authorities, the disciplinary committee’s recommendations led to the expulsions and cancellation of the students’ hostel seats.

The expelled students were ordered to vacate their hostels immediately.
